TAB Key-------- / - slide up \ - slide down X - mute with palm of picking hand U - upstroke D - downstroke () - incidental note ~ - hold note harm - harmonic rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord (but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)Notes------This song is in 4/4 time, and uses 2 Guitars.The intro voicings are based on an open A-shape, slid up and downthe neck. The scraping noises are achieved by scraping the plectrumup and down the strings. The guitar sound (for Guitar1) is slightlydistorted - too much distortion will make this section 'mushy'.The verses are made up of 2 guitar parts. Guitar1 plays partial barchords, based upon the open A-shape, at the 3rd and 5th positions.Guitar2 plays muted root notes and power chord versions of the barchords, based upon the open E-shape, at the 8th and 10th frets.The choruses consist of power chords and a 5 bar riff.The bridge makes extensive use of Bar chords. Verticle lines abovethe TAB stave show the rhythm pattern used.The picking patterns in the bridge, bars 10-17, are based around themoveable E-shape at the 8th and 10th frets. This has been shown as a2 guitar part, because of the way the notes are allowed to ring overeach other - it is possible to approximate this part with one Guitar.The noise section lasts 38 bars and is a more extreme version of theintro. I haven't tabbed it out, but use the Intro as a guide to whatyou could do here. Use plenty of string scrapes, and also the pickupselector to switch between pickups, creating a rhythmic effect.The outro is based on bars 3 and 4 of the chorus - but played in astaccato style.This Transcription (c) Copyright DarkMusic 1997.This Transcription (and others) is also available at: http://www.mandy.co.uk/music/tabs/Comments and corrections welcome.
